      The only reason the value goes down is because maybe someone else won't like the diamonds and wont be willing to buy, but objectively speaking adding diamonds increases the precious objects in the watch which raises its value.

    I use way too much time on watches, videos, checking prices, forums etc, instead of focusing on making money and build a better future. I already have my dream watch with my one-watch policy (Rolex Explorer 2 polar), so why wasting my time on this? Watch business is the new gold rush with all kind of weird people trying to make money on products in high demand/low production, and increasing prices. After the next financial crash a lot of people will sit with collections who fell in value, just like in 2008, and regret they thought watch prices would never stop growing. I maybe, just maybe are willing to change my Explorer to a Platona, when the prices fell. Thats also a nice one-watch to use.

      @@mehmetguner5729 well ppl buy watches for different reason. Some buy to enhance their status, to impress others of cos. It is not just limited to RM. One prime example would be Rolex. No offence to Rolex, in fact i love its timeless design. In this case, RM played its role really well. Limited supply really drive ppl nuts. The higher the price, the more desirable it became, the stronger the perception towards the brand! Well RM was a good investment couple of years ago when u still can buy the watch for 1/3 of the price today!
